Robert, It was thoughtful and unexpected to see you at Dad's visitation, since your mother had also passed away. Your mother was a sweet lady. I remember waking up some mornings to find your Dad drinking coffee at our kitchen table. He would always stop in if he had a service call in the area. Blessings to you and your entire family.
